“OMG, they killed, Mary!” “You bastards!”

I think this may be Misha’s worst GISHWHES ever.
No, no, no. That’s how they’re kicking off the season closing mytharc? I have so many problems with this.

Aww nuts. I mean come on, things were going so well! The season was humming along, producing something of at least mild entertainment value each week.
